I know it's in the Daily Fascist but it seems the BBC have built a bunker to protect themselves from suicide bombers. I didn't know UKIP, the Conservative Party and/or the Catholic Church had that capability, because they're the only people who would like to jam Al Beeb. AQAP, AQIM, the IRA, Hamas, Hezbollah and pretty much any other Terrorist (Sorry that's not a Beeb word - Militant) or Dictator would be insane to cut off their own free Propoganda arm.

On the plus side I would like to pat on the back the ex Forces individual working in Business Continuity that managed to persuade Al-Jazeera North that they were actually under threat. I hope you got a nice cut of the building contract.

Funnily enough, if you go to a site like Urban75 (which some people may remember from a few years back) you'll find plenty of people there who'll swear blind that the BBC is the tool of the Zionists and nothing more than the British arm of the Israeli government's propaganda department.

Perfectly sensible precaution, matches what banks are doing for new dealing rooms, for example. See also vehicle-obstructing street furniture and pervasive surveillance. Just because no-one's letting off VBIEDs or mounting PBIED attacks right this minute doesn't mean some gang of idiots isn't going to do so in the future. I don't believe a billion, either. The sort of hardening required, if designed in from the start, represents extra cost, but not an order of magnitude's worth. Typical Daily Hate non-story. Take a look around the Mail offices some time and see what they've implemented.

Almost all central London new build contracts I see are subject to anti-terror regulations. Everything from the BBC to Tesco's, have to meet blast resistant, or blast enhanced facades regulations on lower floors.
